My Saturday

Instead of dog showing, me mum and dad went to the scottish taekwon do championships,This first picture is of me doing my pattern in the first event.

This next picture is of the masters panel,the one in the middle is Grand master rhee ki ha, the world taekwondo master(he signed my taekwondo suit)

This is a picture of the demonstration for the grand master coming in, they got wood, poured white spirit over the top, set it alight and stamped on them putting the flames out and braking the boards

Although i won nothing i had a great time and my mate (who is a black belt) got scottish overall champion in his division

Yesterday Caitlin, mum and myself thought we would go to Moray Firth Ringcraft Club's companion show at North Kessock. There were some good wins from our club.

Caitlin got Best Junior handler with Georgia 2nd(she also got the Best Veteran with her dalmation) and Lewis 3rd(this is the first time Lewis had handled his puppy in a clss) it was a huge class so well done all.

Joanne and Walter Best Working, Heather and her Whippet Best Hound.
The springer spaniel Gunner went Best in Show. Sorry the picture is not too good.

After we got home Caitlin decided to try out her new jump with Ceilidh when Fergus joined in.

We received this Award from our Kerry Blue friends,Jade and Jane.

Here are the official Honest Scrap rules:"When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to said person so everyone knows he or she is real. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have 7 friends. Show the 7 random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Scrap" weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on!"

Crufts 2009

Caitlin, Jodie and myself left on wednesday morning to travel down to Crufts. This was Jodie's first ever visit to Crufts and was just a little excited!!!!

Jodie was very taken a back when she realised that the welcome to England sign was the only land mark for the border.

We have a few photo's which I will get on later although here is who Caitlin and Jodie met not long after they got through the Crufts door on Thursday. Kate and Gin also Kate's new puppy Ice.

We had a few reasonable wins. Caitlin handled Fergus in Veteran and got 2nd. Ceilidh was 5th in her class. Caitlin and Jodie then had to run up to the Cesky ring and Caitlin and Rowan were 2nd with Jodie and Poppy getting 5th. What an experience for Jodie to go to Crufts then to get in the ring on her first visit there. Sorry we do not have photo's of these wins as we were all handling in different halls.

This is Wilma and Chloe ( Caitlin occasionally handles Chloe in junior handling) winning the Best Puppy in Breed.
